Wha the **** is up with that? I'm actually raging right now.
I play any game for 5 minutes or so, and when I quit it the phone has it's performance basically halved. It goes like this: Run Quadrant Standard -> get 3300 points -> play 3D game for 5 minutes -> game slows down noticeably -> close game ->run quadrant again -> get a score of 1600.
What's up with this crap? It's so insanely aggravating. I restored my phone from PCC and it still happens. The only way to get it running decently again after it starts crawling is to reboot it.
Seriously, I've had it with this piece of crap of a phone. I think this **** crossed the line, I'm selling it.
Hrm i think it's when ur phone get hot and decrease it max cpu frequency to about 800mhz! So try some custom rom or kernels might fix the problem!

I've experienced the same issue! U once it's laggy try to check out ur cpu frequency!

I don't have that visible underclocking under CPU Master. Mine always says 1500 as max frequency. It looks like you set it to 800 manually.
But anyway, I think it's related to overheating because I noticed that if I let it sit for a while after running a game performance goes up again.
Anyway, I don't give a crap about what's causing it. A phone should NOT overheat from normal use. Ok, it's summer and it's hot, but seriously, I've had it with this phone.
I can't deal with this. I'll just sell it and go back to my trusty ol' Xperia Ray on Gingerbread.

All high power phones have problems with overheating and becoming slow. Install a custom kernel and undervolt it, that should help. Also using a custom rom and kernel has reduced my heat problem a lot.
Of course your xperia ray doesn't have issues because it is slow. A dual core in a phone is going to heat up.
I have played shadowgun for 30 minutes without any slowdown.

I would like to stress test and I don't really know anything about it.
I am using SetCPU and went into settings and selected Stress Test. Then I got a box saying: "Stress test running... Device maybe unresponsive. Press back to end."
Does this mean it's unresponsive to the stress test or that it's unresponsive to other actions? Because if I hit back right away it's like nothing happened, but when I waited a little bit and hit back I got a test result.
So if it is actually running the test, how long should I let it run? Does it stop on its own?
What app does anyone recommend for stress testing?
I'm assuming you're testing an overclock? If so, it's pretty much the same if you were to run say prime95 on your computer. Set cpu will probably be running your cpu at max load. If it is unstable your phone will lock up or reboot, if one of those occur your overclock is unstable. Also what clock speed are you using?
I haven't actually OCd this kernel yet, it's at 384/1512 On Demand. I've been trying to figure out settings for better battery life but that hasn't happened so now I thought I'd try out OC and see how it works on my set up. Was just checking out the test to see how it works.
If you're still on GB a lot of people have random reboots once a day or so if you do 1.8 ghz. Seems our chipset can't handle anything over at 1.7 atm, this could be incorrect though. Could just be some software issue that hopefully be resolved once kernel source is released for ICS. Honestly if you're having issues with battery life just go for the extended. I'm on ICS and run 1.7 all day and have pretty heavy usage. I used my phone quite a bit in this 24 hour period as well.

Is it plausible to get the Rezound OC'd to 2.0ghz you think?
I remember on my OG Droid almost everyone could OC'd to 1.0ghz, but once you got past that it was hit or miss. Some people could do 1.25ghz, other people couldn't do above 1.0ghz so they'd get random rebooting issues. I can't remember what determined this, but it was some hardware that was in the phone that was slightly different amongst each other.

They say the max you can clock this chipset is 1.99 ghz. But a lot of people are having issues w/ 1.8ghz on GB roms, random daily reboots. Could just be hardware limitation, or the kernel code. Most are stable at 1.7 ish.
So how long are you supposed to run the stress test? Does it stop on its own? Is there a better app to use for it?

StabilityTest by Intostudios is also a pretty decent app. I've ran it for as much as 2-3 hours, I'm sure there have been some that have run it as much as 24. I know I like to run Prime95 on my home PC for 24 hours to ensure any OC is stable. Few hours, 24 hours.. The choice is yours. I'm pretty sure any unstable oc or underclocking will cause a random reboot within 10-15 minutes w/ that app.

Is your Facebook app running in the background?
My phone has been doing that too; pretty sure it is the Facebook app. Have you tried Fast Facebook? I'm running CM9
Let's take a stroll. Through the useful information garden. And over the obvious bridge. Look! Its a butterfly! Let's name it What kernel u running? So beautiful. It'd also be helpful to know if yer overclocking, messing with voltage settings, if u were charging the phone, and....anything else that could help someone actually solve the problem.
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda premium
Dip the phone into the bucket full of cold water and see if it actually drops a few degrees.
Rule one of messing with electronics is to keep track of what you did so if something like an overheat or reboot issue suddenly arises, you know what the probable culprits are. without knowing what you were running before the heat issue and now, the only real advise is to compare your setups and see what is different.
I'm not overclocking. I haven't touched the voltages and I'm running the latest shostock with the kernel it comes with. I'm posting this because all I'm doing is browsing the web or just sending a text and my phone is literally way too hot to even hold

(As a note, the temps quoted in the above link are conservatively low. But better safe than sorry in ruining your phone)
Your phone will likely be fine. Most of the components that get hot in electronic devices (cpu, gpu, ect) can handle well over 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Obviously it is still a very bad idea to let any electronics get overly hot -and hard to hang onto because of heat is overly hot.
The first thing to be affected by heat will be the battery life. Batteries "can" (not guaranteed) be irreparably damaged by +160 fahrenheit.
Could lowering voltages cause a phone to run even hotter? I would think it's the other way around...
My phone gets very hot from time to time. Only when it's on the charger though.
"Seasons don't fear the reaper, Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain"
I noticed the same problem when on the lastest version shostock a week ago. It would only happen when the phone would lock-up. I can't remember exactly what programs I had running. I believe I was just sending or reading a text at the time. And I don't use the FB app that much. Maybe once a week. Happened 3 times during one day and it would good from nothing to hot in a matter of seconds. Almost too hot to touch. Took the battery out one time and place it under a fan to cool it down. Kind of scared me so I was checking the phone all day long to make sure it was not doing it again.
I honestly just thought it was a bad rom install so I downgraded back to GB after those events. Hasn't happened since. I had no OC or UV going on just stock settings.
I hope there is software and hardware fail-safes in place if the temp gets too high.
I noticed the XDA app after I closed it was still pulling 10-15 cpu power after I killed it my temp went down quick. See if that might be doing it....
Heat
Ok.... The more you have going on...the hotter the phone will be. The cpu's under loads will definatly create temps. So kill apps. Check how your cpu package handle and read up on cup settings. In on smartaz 2 with ioa .

SetCPU is a great idea to get. You can setup a profile so that when it gets over a certain temp a notification goes off and can lower the processor speed. Mine is set to go down too 500mhz if it gets to warm.

i run into this same issue. running the fluxi kernel with rootbox aokp. usually i just pull the battery, wait bout a minute or 2 for it to cool back down and restart the phone and the issue goes away. i usually run app killer after i exit the app.
Has anyone else found the device gets really hot randomly without doing anything task intensive?
My latest battery temp went up to 45 degrees Celsius (113 fahrenheit).
Please shed any light on the matter!
After 15 mins of Dead Space, my SGS3 feels a little bit warmer than normal.
Also the same on HSPA+ and heavy browsing.
But 45 is way better than the 63 of HOX, maybe it's normal, maybe not.
Do some more testing, what app did you use to see the temperature?
I can test my phone and come back to this thread with results.
I have the Problem to but the temprature was up to 54 °C. I dont know why. The Phose is going hot only by surfing. The first days it be cold. After 5 Days it will be war/hot. The battery is going fast down too. The Benchmarks are bad too, antutu e.g. 3 to 5 thousand points. After Buying 12 thousand. Energy-Safemode is deactivated. The CPU Frequency is up to 800 Mhz not 1.4 Ghz.
And today....all is going fine. Its cold, the Benchmarks are high and the CPU ist 1.4 Ghz......
Very curious
and yes, my english is bad
What ROM are you on? Do you have any weird apps that run in the background?
Definitely sounds like overheating problems. Phone gets too hot, CPU scales down, standard procedure... Never happened to me.
Load the newest ROM for your area,do a full wipe, don't install many apps, check it for a day or two.
If the same happens, take it back for replacement.

Hi all,
Thanks for the the replies.
The ROM - is the the original I haven't rooted (I hope that's what you mean...I'm a noob at this)
I have got rid of that horrible touchwiz with apex launcher but that about the only thing that I've done (apart from install a few apps)
As the last guy said "we've got 4 cores dude" haha.
Just seems to get pretty hot had it up to 47 degree. Toasty! but haven't noticed anything drastically wrong with the battery life.
Piece out all. Thanks for all the help!
I don't seem to suffer from this but having said that I haven't used the phone to watch a movie yet or anything like that so o don't know.
Battery going down is only normal when its hot.
sent with SGS3
Well, if it gets hot while on stand-by or out of the blue, take it back.
My phone idles at 27-33c with normal use. After 15mins of NOVA 3 gameplay it goes up to 45c and feels a bit warm.
If your phone gets hot with 3G and browsing or recording video and such, 47c is totally normal, especially if you consider 4 cores and no cooling whatsoever. 47c is nowhere near to toasty though
I hope I helped you.

I was playing Temple run brave. First it's fine. But after about 20mn uses! The phone is abit hot. And everything is abit laggy! I wonder why! I check the ram and suprisingly there's even more free space! Then I flash custom kernels on stock ics and overclocked! The problem won't be solve! I realized that it's abt the stock rom! One time in the laggy condition, i found out that Cpu frequency drop to 810mhz! I have no idea what caused the change in cpu frequency. I did turn it back to maximum frequency! And the phone still laggy but better! I suggest that there's something on stock rom keep decreasing phone's performance in everyway( CPU,..) once once it's hot! Anyone experience that problem or only me? Who can solve it?
There is an process, AFAIK, that turns the processor to a slower speed when it gets hot. Try changing the governor to "performance".
Process?

Maybe there is a hidden process in order to prevent users from locating it and stopping it.
If this issue happens when phone is hot, preventing the phone from dropping the frequency could most possibly kill the hardware.

heh? read the comment in temple run: brave! it's the game's fault.
try other games, if it's laggy then there's problem with your phone.
i played Nova 3 for 45 mins with no lag at lag, though i dont know if the frequency got lower or not, the phone's hot though , but still no lags..
Hrm i found out that it's just a random decreased! Sometime it's fine! But i'm sure it did happen on stock rom n stock kernels but not always! U can try to check ur cpu once u think it's laggy!

I've encountered the same "freezing" when playing Plants vs Zombies for longer time... but I also noticed that when I was in "cold" place e.g. room with air conditioning system, there is no "freezing" issue even I played longer than I used to...
I guess, it is really affected by the unit's temperature...
Let's say that unit's temperature is the cause of the problem! So what make that related to system performance? I thought it was a process called "overheat controll". I freezed it and even remove from system apps. Still no uses!

I am unsure if this is just over caution on their part of if this is something we need to be worried about... honesty even yours at 39c is not that hot 102 F which for a computer is whatever... but I thought this chip was supposed to run cooler and everything being the new architecture.
I have been doing a lot of CPU testing and noticed a couple of things:
First of all the issue with the screen not turning brighter is simple: the heat within the device reached a certain limit that could potentially damage it.
the CPU, RAM and the screen light are the main culprit. Especially the CPU and RAM, try CPU stats and after heavy use you will notice the phone gets warm/hot and the freq gets capped out at 1.1 GHz by the kernel. This is mainly to reduce the heat obviously....I guess keeping the phone running at 1.5 GHz with all 4 cores and the screen cranked up to max will definitely turn the phone into a Coleman stove in no time.
So i guess this powerful CPU doesn't do any better than any dual core running constantly and stable for the same amount of time to crunch performance levels. Sigh...I guess until they wont figure out to make things run cooler powerful CPU's wont get far-only on paper
Just my 2 cents

You are right on point. I have seen it drop (I believe to 1180) when running a bunch of benchmarks. The manufacturer sets the heat threshold at a very safe level. Kernel devs are usually able to safely bump that up another 10 to 15 degrees. I am one of the lucky ones that got the variant 3 of the international One X. Variant 3 was the strongest version and I ran all 4 cores at 1600 with 51 minimum. Faux usually figures out how to uncap and raise the throttle temperature... but he's on a N4. I am going to keep an eye on the kernel threads there and see how far they push things. Chainfire's "PerfMod" app is perfect to watch this while running different apps
